One is a server processor and one is a normal consumer processor

depends on what applications you are running

IC... so for an average person the FX would be a better choice right?

wow you must have a lot of dough. Unless you have hella money and want the very best consider something more along the lines of a 3500+ or a 4000+ even fx-55 is only a little better at a huge price increase

if u got the cash, yea/ FX-55 is also the best gaming processor out there

Getting the best cpu in the world is a waste of money and time. Just get a stable processor and go with it. Getting the best performance for gaming lies withen the video card. Atleast get something over 2 ghz in AMD or 3 ghz in Intel.
